Shaping Countless Forms, Empowering the Intelligent Future | KraussMaffei Makes a Brilliant Appearance at Chinaplas 2026

April 21, 2026, Kauer Mafie (Booth No.: 4.1D56)Shaping All Things, Intelligent FutureThemed around "Innovation in Injection Molding, Extrusion, Reaction Molding, and Digital Intelligence," the latest cutting-edge achievements will be showcased at Chinaplas 2026 International Rubber and Plastics Exhibition.

KraussMaffei takes technological innovation as its engine, integrating global R&D with Chinese market demands, to develop advanced equipment with high output, high precision, and high efficiency.

Injection molding field:At this exhibition, the KraussMaffei GX650 injection molding machine is equipped with the RimStar dosing system.On-site demonstration of ColorForm in-mold painting processThe application in the integrated forming of the B-pillar of new energy vehicles. GX650 integrates leading technologies such as GearX ultra-fast clamping (0.25 seconds), high-pressure cylinder rapid pressure build-up (0.35 seconds), and single-cylinder injection accuracy of ±0.1%.A high-quality surface with scratch resistance and self-healing properties can be achieved in a single molding process.，Save the subsequent painting process, which reduces carbon emissions and pollutant emissions, and significantly improves production efficiency.

Meanwhile, the ColorForm process supports diverse design schemes, offering greater design freedom for automotive exteriors.KraussMaffei can independently develop and provide all components required for the process in one stop.Ensuring seamless collaboration among all modules to open up new possibilities for intelligent manufacturing for automotive enterprises. This demonstration attracted significant attention on-site.

This cutting-edge process has moved from technical validation to large-scale application. Recently, KraussMaffei and Li Auto have collaborated deeply, successfully bringing the world's first ColorForm process exterior component off the production line, marking a significant breakthrough in the scale application of this process in the field of new energy vehicles.It not only provides a new technical solution for the lightweight and intelligent development of automobiles, but also becomes a model example of collaborative innovation between rubber and plastic equipment enterprises and new energy vehicle companies.

Extrusion field:KraussMaffei Golden Power^®ZE 180 GP Large and Medium-Sized Twin-Screw ExtruderSpecifically designed for high-output applications such as large-scale petrochemical processing and reactive devolatilization; compared to the ZE 145 GP launched in 2024.Same-material production capacity increased by 80–90%, significantly reducing operational costs.At this exhibition, the self-developed ZE 337 GP barrel was also showcased, featuring an integrated dual-circuit temperature control system combining oil heating and water cooling, enabling rapid thermal response and uniform temperature control—ideal for high-output pelletizing production of PMMA and POE (polyolefin elastomer).

Precision silicone molding ^®Next-Generation Fully Electric Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) Injection Molding Machine (PA120)Demonstrating the production of silicone pen grips at the exhibition highlights KraussMaffei's professional advantages in precision silicone molding. The screw and injection unit are optimized for multi-cavity mold production, accurately matching diverse process requirements.Help customers achieve dual improvements in production efficiency and quality.Further consolidate KraussMaffei's technological leadership in the high-end silicone injection molding field.

KraussMaffei not only exhibits a range of high-end equipment, but also focuses on integrating core process knowledge with digital capabilities, building intelligent solutions that cover the entire production process.

Launch of the KraussMaffei Digital™ System Solution,Build a complete digital intelligence empowerment system from production control to equipment maintenance.

The DMS system is based on an independently developed platform, achieving full-process digital supervision by breaking down production plans, collecting equipment data, tracking process parameters, and integrating quality and logistics data. In terms of operations and maintenance, the system integrates functions such as fault alarms and maintenance scheduling, enabling rapid identification of production abnormalities and proactive planning of equipment maintenance, thereby improving overall equipment efficiency. More notably, the system deeply integrates AI with core process knowledge, building a complete intelligent operations and maintenance closed-loop that includes equipment monitoring, fault prediction, expert knowledge base matching, and AI assistant interaction.Truly transform every device into a data node, enabling data-driven decision-making for every decision.

The excitement continues on the exhibition booth.

More communication and collaboration are taking place.

Booth 4.1D56We look forward to your presence.
